What do you want to taco ’bout today? How ’bout our low carb keto taco casserole! This is so easy to make that it’s a must for Taco Tuesday and any other day that needs a taco, which, let’s be honest, is every day. This keto mexican beef taco casserole is about to become your favorite!

Is the taco casserole keto friendly?

Yes! Our casserole is super simple with just a few ingredients that you may have on hand if you are living a keto or low carb lifestyle. In fact, if you are like us, you already have the cooked taco meat in the freezer.

Oh…and ground beef.

It starts a little something like this with some browned beef , canned tomatoes and enough taco seasoning to make your heat sensor happy.

Is Cauliflower Rice keto?

Yep, but you’ll want to watch your macros. A head of cauliflower has about 29g of carbs. You can use as much as you want or as little in the casserole.

Next up – you add the green chilis and cauliflower rice. Mix it all together. All these ingredients together work perfect if you want a make ahead keto taco casserole.

You can definitely taste test this now to make sure the flavors are what you want. Add some more of <insert what it needs> if so desired.

Do you have other Mexican keto recipes?

We use a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Start by adding the meat mixture to the bottom – enough to cover the bottom. Don’t worry if it isn’t a thick layer. You’ll be adding more yummies.

Cover with about 2/3 of the bag of cheese – enough so it’s a decent covering. You want the cheese to melt when it’s baking and make the dish cheeeesssyyyy. I mean it’s a keto mexican casserole! It has to have the cheese – and cheese is one of the best foods to eat if you are on a low carb diet.

Repeat the layers – the remainder of the meat mixture covered with the remainder of the cheese. Since it’s already cooked, the bake is intended to just melt the cheese – so 15-20 minutes max.

Doesn’t it look yummy? Because it is. Cheesy taco yummy.

Serve it in a bowl garnished with sour cream and avocado if you want. I prefer greek yogurt to sour cream myself. And avocado all day long if you’re the keto type!

Or serve it plain. Like this. Also yum!

I love that it’s a one dish dinner with the addition of the cauliflower. Since I discovered cauliflower rice in the bag, I use it for everything. While it can give some dishes a cauli taste, that’s not the case with this casserole. This is all taco!

Want a taco fat bomb? We’ve got that!

Dessert is next – try a keto frosty and your day is made!
